(I'm pretty sure she gave her one, if not meh that works)

Larel nodded in agreement with Mera before following behind the two, he stretched and ended up meeting eyes with an old fisherman who smoked a kiseru pipe and looked at him his stern expression causing Larel to arch a brow, however the expression on his lightened and he offered a wave to Larel causing him to wave back.
When his eyes met Alari they narrowed recognizing him though he smiled at him, Alari offered a small wave but didn't stop to continue their conversation preferring not to bring it up again.
Alari's attention was pulled from the older man as he heard Mera, when she welcomed him back his eyes widened and he immediately had to push the surprise down before Larel looked back at him, which is when he adjusted his glasses clearing his throat a little.
"I'm back," Alari responded with a smile.
He didn't go into how happy he was to hear Mera say that, he felt a warmth in his chest as he replayed the words in his head but he remembered he couldn't afford to linger too long on them, he had matters to attend too.
Though that wouldn't stop him from doing so later.
Larel turned his attention away from Alari and looked back at Mera as food was brought up.
"Well I was earlier but after Alari did that...thing," Larel said mentioning the weird blood moment. "I suddenly stopped being hungry, I could eat though. I'll just have eight bowls instead of ten since I'm okay."
